Talk:The Cleansing of the Shire

Does Charcoal shield stack with normal def spells like Armour of Earth?

Nope, it's a normal defence spell, it just requires you have a prepared shield to manifest it's effect. Much like Enchant Armour only works if you are wearing armour, despite the spell being on the person not the item.
Also why it doesn't work in close since shields become unprepared in close. So Armour of Earth may be a better option depending on rank, or Wraith Cloak may be our best option for the resistance vs normal weapons. One cast does the entire party if done through Enchanted Area so easier to have everyone on the same defence spell also unless there is a really good reason to mix them on a daily basis. --Bernard (talk) 06:38, 15 June 2014 (MDT)
